Position Summary:

The North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research (NTL-LTER) (http://lter.limnology.wisc.edu) program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studies lakes and watersheds as one of a network of 28 sites established by the National Science Foundation to support research on long-term change. We are interested in how biophysical setting, climate, and changing land use interact to shape lake characteristics and dynamics over time (past, present, future). Our primary study sites include a set of seven northern Wisconsin and four southern Wisconsin lakes and their surrounding landscapes. Principal Investigators of NTL-LTER represent 14 departments of the U.W.-Madison campus plus US Geological Survey and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The project maintains an extensive state of the art data repository in which many different kinds of data are archived for current and future use. Data collected in this project include but are not limited to real time streaming sensor data monitoring lake conditions, field sampling of chemical, biological, and physical characteristics of lakes throughout the entire year, microbial genomics data, data from experimental manipulations, and a wide range of spatial data. This position is based at Trout Lake Station in Boulder Junction, WI.
